Is Social Media Destroying Society? Former Facebook Exec Says 'Yes'

[Mark Antony]

I really do want to know why self help stuff on youtube eventually leads into right wing ideology stuff. Like clockwork I watch any fitness related videos and again with the Jordan Peterson, Jocko, random maga negro red pill nonsense starts to pop up. The **** all that gotta do with a chest routine? It's like it's meant to prey on those looking for help and indoctrinate them. People like to downplay this **** but it's real.

Pretty simple answer: Libs are frail body.

Loving the freak out and panic from all the social media addicts with Facebook and IG down today

I just wish WhatsApp never got sold to FaceBook. That's how I stay in contact with my people who are overseas, and it's "saved" me a lot of money over the years (personal data being collected notwithstanding).

Not looking forward to buying those $10 phone cards for 30 min convos again if it never comes back on.

I might just lose my job that day. Not gunna lie.

assuming this is over, that was a really good demonstration of why several major pillars of global communication probably shouldn't be operated by a single private company.

You ever choke out a student w/ a wrestling move for attacking you?

Considering the amount of people (more than 2 billion) who get their news from Facebook and are influenced by what they see on it, Zuck could start his own nation if he ever wanted to see how far he could push the capabilities of his platform.

Damn. I was enjoying Facebook being down. Wish it'd stayed down for a few days.

One of the biggest problems I have is people who watch these "living the dream" Youtubers. They all think that lifestyle is just around the corner for them too if they just hustle and work hard enough. You don't dare try to tell them otherwise either or point anything out to them.

It's like watching porn and being surprised that not all stepsisters are crazed nymphomaniacs in the real world.

Complete disconnect from reality.

Disgusting. This is the result of a society that values entertainment and 'clout' over morals. They are essentially trading one person's safety/dignity for the potential of going viral. Cash me outside paved the way and rode the wave.

Most I’ve done is restrain kids trying to fight. I don’t really want to ever restrict peoples airways.

I'm all for folks getting knocked out when they hop out there making dumb decisions. If any kids crosses that line, they deserve WHATEVER comes their direction.

Then they'll be on the news playing innocent victim.

I’m pretty sure educators aren’t allowed to fight students but…

I would absolutely lose my job and be fine with if a kid slaps me for Tik Tok lol

 

[finessence]

Parent and kids need to be dealt with. Parents are getting worse by the second. They don’t monitor or discipline their kids

Oh okay. I was just trying to see if that was a normal reaction or a lack of self control/anger management type of thing.
